The anticipation for the 107th Weld County Fair is building as it gears up to open its festivities on July 19th. The event, which will span ten days until July 28th, is a showcase of the region's agricultural heritage and community endeavors. Ahead of the fair's start, the Weld County Fair Royalty Court presented the official fair book to the board of commissioners, as reported by the Weld County Newsroom. This traditional gesture carries the full schedule of activities and exhibits that attendees can expect to enjoy.
In a ceremony that reinforces the longstanding community values, the fair royalty has once again stepped forward to represent and promote Weld County's agricultural virtues. "Weld County’s fair royalty are truly the bright, shining faces of agriculture," Weld County Chair Perry Buck expressed, as obtained by the Weld County Newsroom. The recognition underscores the importance of the fair as not only an event but a platform to "let the public know what Weld County agriculture is about."
Apart from the enshrined tradition of presenting the fair book, the Weld County Fair Royalty Court is tasked to actively participate across the community and beyond. Their duties range from gracing parades to hosting the 'Royalty for a Day Program,' an initiative designed to inspire local youth to aspire to become future fair royalty. They will also be responsible for distributing ribbons during the fair, highlighting the achievements of fellow participants.
The royalty court this year features Madison Miller of Frederick as queen, who is not only part of the fair's royal line-up but also an active contributor with her expertise in the 4-H Club. Queen Madison will be showcasing her skills by showing her breeding rabbit and by participating in canning and model rocketry projects, as per information from the Weld County newsroom. Supporting her are fair attendants Dakota Bernard and Aubrey Storm, both bringing their unique talents to the event. Bernard is set to present her breeding rabbits, while Storm is ready to showcase her mare and compete in shooting sports. Adding to the regal roster is fair princess Addison Tellez of Greeley, bringing horses and market goats to the fair's competitive fields.
